jericho barrons..i know what you are! ....i think!

it's a toss up between the unseelie king, or the fourth unseelie prince (aka war). either way, he is unseelie! faefever ends with mac being gang raped by famine, death and pestilence AKA the 3/4s of the dark princes that came to earth during samhain. war was notably missing...war was also a theme in the visions seen when mac and jericho kissed in the cave during bloodfever. additionally, mac mentions that the princes were covered in tattoos...jericho has red and black tattoos, iirc. the claims that he is the unseelie king are supported by: (1) his ability to touch the spear and other dark hallow objects, (2) the shades/v'lane fearing him, (3) the shifting silvers in his study. i would further argue that he dead woman in his arms was/is the corpse of his human concubine who killed herself. and when not with mac, he spends his time in the realm he made for his deceased lady love

i love the growing inclusion of the sidhe-seers and the druids/mackeltars. mac clearly has a hunger to bond with her sidhe-seer sisters/make female friends, which is a refreshing change from the not-like-other-girls attitude that tends to plague urban fantasy heroines.

as usual, when one question is answered, three new ones pop up! whomst tf is the dreamy-eyed boy???? i'm beginning to think the lord master is NOT alina's murderer??? WHAT TF IS JERICHO???????????????????
